Another Noteable Passing
I previously wrote about my friend and former classmate, Lonnie Brown ("And speaking of old friends." January, 2008) who was battling cancer. I received word some time back that on May, 16, Lonnie lost the battle but won the war. Many of us had hoped for a different kind of miracle, but Lonnie had experienced the ultimate miracle of God’s grace that is available to us all. His family reported his passing with these words:
"Lonnie Brown received his healing and promotion on Friday, May 16th at 3:42 in the afternoon while his son-in-law, Rev. Jason Sciscoe was reading John 14. All of his family was there to celebrate his homegoing with singing and worship. The peace and presence of God filled the room, and the strength of your prayers was felt by all. We will never forget the outpouring of love support and prayers during this journey."
And so, once again, I guess that there is just one thing left to say: "Welcome home Lonnie, welcome home!"
